Your phone may be giving you neck wrinkles. Here’s what you can do to fix it.
The extended periods of time spent gazing downward on electronic devices could be causing subtle changes to your neck without you realising it. As you bend your head downwards to look at your phone or computer, this persistent posture places strain on the neck muscles and delicate neck skin. The repetitive straining motion can essentially weaken the skin's elasticity and collagen, making it more prone to wrinkling and sagging. Over time, this can lead to the progressive development of neck wrinkles and creases, also known as ‘Tech Neck.’
You may be wondering, how can we prevent the premature development of neck lines?
Tech neck can be prevented through implementing the following methods:
Neck Exercises: Stretching exercises targeted at the neck muscles can help improve posture and reduce strain on the neck.
Maintain Good Posture: Avoid hunching over or tilting your head downward for extended periods.
Take Breaks: Incorporate regular breaks into your screen time to give your neck muscles a rest and prevent prolonged strain.
